Battlefield finally has a free-to-play battle royale mode in Redsec, even if it doesn’t look like it’s doing what EA wanted it to do.
Battlefield Redsec, the free-to-play battle royale mode inside of Battlefield 6, went live yesterday across all platforms, right alongside the game’s first season. This is the Battlefield series’ second attempt at a battle royale mode, after Battlefield 5’s ill-fated Firestorm.
Part of why Firestorm never really made it big was that it was locked behind the full price of the game, effectively acting as a side mode within the existing experience, and not a means to attract a new type of player, one who is not interested in buying the premium game.
Redsec corrects that much of that, but it doesn’t seem to be taking off.
